About this property

On the Boardwalk with views of the Ocean & Balboa Pier--steps to the Fun Zone

Sitting on one of the most desirable corners of Newport, rests this peaceful 3 bedroom, 2 bath vacation condo. Boasting 1300 square feet, this condo has recently gone through a total renovation, including new furniture and appliances. A calm and modern atmosphere awaits you at this beach escape.

Fond memories will easily be made in this open living and dining room, whether you decide to play some of the provided games, watch a favorite movie, or reminisce about moments at the beach. Attached to the living area is a roomy, raised patio outfitted for sunbathing, entertaining and barbecuing. And you don’t have to be a seasoned chef to enjoy what our kitchen supplies; from cooking spices and storage containers to granite countertops and new appliances, the kitchen contains everything you need to make simple snacks for a day at the beach or a delicious dinner for the whole family. The master bedroom enjoys an ocean view from a comfortable queen bed, private bath, television and access to the patio. The second bedroom has a queen bed, television, and a view of the Historic Balboa Pier, while the last bedroom has a full and single bunk bed. All three televisions have access to DirecTV, so no one has to miss their favorite sitcom or drama while on vacation. There is also an in-unit washer and dryer and WiFi for your convenience.

The condo is located just steps away from many popular activities such as boating, paddle boarding, kayaking, and the famous Balboa Fun Zone and Ferris wheel. Local bike rentals are within walking distance. If you want to venture off the boardwalk, you are only a short stroll to the Balboa Island Ferry, which will take you to Balboa Island for shopping and delightful food adventures. You are 30 minutes from Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm and upscale shopping at Fashion Island, and only 1½ hours to San Diego.

The complex features a private gated entry, elevator access, and a gated parking garage with two private parking spaces for vehicles ***with a maximum height of 6 feet.***

Perfect place on the beach
We usually stay on the pier once a year as a family getaway. This was the cleanest & most spacious place we’ve stayed. They had everything we needed. Plenty of towels, chairs and beach items, and kitchen was well stocked. Large table inside and great patio space outside. Great location! Thank you we had a great time!

Exceptional space and location!
Our 3 generational family gathering really enjoyed this condo… the space is generous, the deck and large tables were wonderful. Being up one floor really allowed excellent sunset views! We enjoyed walking a block down Palm street for our dining and activities. Our first time to Newport Beach was so easy, we’ll gladly return!

Wonderful property!
The property was wonderful! And just as described. Super close to restaurants and the beach. Loved the outdoor patio. It had an abundance of chairs along with umbrella for shade. Was perfect for the family to gather. Plenty of extra towels and pillows which was really nice to have. Having assigned parking was a great luxury. We can’t wait to come back!

a very nice place and in a great location.
Very awkward key situation. I suggest a better system for providing the key, versus mailing it in an envelope that can rip open and let the key fall out. The key lock box in the garage is hard to see and the keys do not fit well into it.

Prefect Location and Great renters
My weekend getaway with my family was in a perfect location in the Balboa Peninsula. Everything you need, from Balboa fun zone to bars, restaurants and shops are within walking distance. Jeff and Stephanie are very attentive and made our stay very welcoming. Their home was very clean and cozy and had all the amenities needed for a great stay. The patio was a favorite for us and has a great view of the beach. Our stay was a 10/10 and I thank Jeff and Staphanie for renting to us

Wow what an awesome condo. I stayed with my family (2 elementary aged kids) my husband and my parents who are in their 70s. We had plenty of space to sleep and eat, lounge, etc. We appreciated the dedicated parking lot and the amenities included esp in the kitchen. My kids used the beach toys and boogie board! Our absolute favorite part was morning coffee and evening cocktails on the patio people watching as they went by on the boardwalk! So fun! Thanks for your kind and quick responses to our questions as well Jeff and Stephanie!
